Company Description

Toutigeac is an very old locality, with vestiges which date back from the 12° century. At that time, the monks of St Gérard who came from the neighbouring abbey, la Sauve Majeure, founded a small community, planted vines and built a church.Toutigeac was at that time a village with more than 200 inhabitants. The Cross with its primitive sculpture of Christ dates back from that time.A historical site, Château Toutigeac is located on a hill at the very heart of the Entre-Deux-Mers in its most hilly and picturesque part.It looks over a magnificent panorama of vineyards, forests and fields with villages, Romanesque churches, manors and delightful houses… some people describe it as a little Tuscany.The Estate was purchased by Charles Mallet in 1928, at that time a wine merchant in Paris and Castillon la Bataille. His great, great grand-daughter, Oriane Mazeau, continues the tradition as the fifth generation of the family to make wines at Château Toutigeac.
